These lively catfish are the perfect solution for keepers who want the hardiness of a Corydoras but need something with more presence. The albino variant shows off a bright, cream-colored body that stands out against dark gravel or planted backgrounds. They are almost constantly on the move, sifting through the substrate or swimming in mid-water groups. Because they are social animals, they feel most secure when they have a few friends to shoal with. They aren't picky eaters and will happily accept most sinking pellets or frozen treats that reach the bottom.
Prefers a sandy substrate to protect their sensitive whiskers while foraging.
Extremely peaceful nature makes them safe for community tanks with medium-sized fish.
Occasional trips to the surface for a gulp of air are normal behavior for this species.
Provide plenty of hiding spots like driftwood or caves for resting during the day.
